The speaker sounds great but Siri is dumb but that can always be fixed by a software update.

It's a fine speaker, if you can get it to work. Siri is way more frustrating to use than the other voice assistants. The ability to use HomePod as a HomeKit hub sounds great but hasn't actually been useful to me because HomeKit is so riddled with issues that I just have to use the accessory makers' apps to actually control anything reliably.

Great sound. That is where it ends. 1. can only set up with one iphone and so only ONE user 2. Not really integrated with anything (cannot play Pandora or spotify etc) 3. Took 2 hours to get my iphone set up with it (because i also have kids on my icloud account and it was confused) 4. you CANNOT move the homepod to a different place in the house easily if it has a different access point or router name 5. NO BLUETOOTH! so you cannot simply stream music in the yard or garage outside of wifi range. CANNOT TAKE TO BEACH OR PARK 6. THis is an Alexa (echo) knock off with far fewer features. 7. You cannot use it without giving your credit card, creating apple keychain, etc. (you do not need any of that with Alexa) 8 This is NOT A BLUETOOTH SPEAKER (too bad). 9. It is very pricey and demands that you stay in the "apple ecosystem" (that is fancy wording for if it "ain't apple then we do not talk to it" You can play Apple music by command and that is about it. I have the greatest respect for the (late) Steve Jobs and I do not think that he would have released this product in this way. I only bought it as I thought it was a bluetooth speaker. I already have an Echo. I have no use for this. Very expensive mistake.

Hands down best sound/ i have two paired and just love the sound

The Homepod is a great sounding smart speaker that works perfectly with my homekit devices and apple music subscription.

Are you debating whether to buy an Apple HomePod mini or an Amazon echo dot? We are currently big-time Apple users. However, I would not recommend the Apple HomePod mini. The stereo function worked for one week before it quit. Timers no longer work and handoff from our iPhones works occasionally. We also have the echo dots and never had an issue with any of them. Love the dots over the HomePod mini.

Love it! It sound amazing, here can hear me from other room and understands my accent pretty well. Great addition !

I purchased one a while back and placed it near a wall and it sounded great. I moved in a central area with no walls and the sound was disappointing. I purchased a second one and placed it in the same central area and the sound gave me chills. It was soooo good. Bottom line is you need two or more. I purchased one for regular price but got the second one for $250. I think it is over priced since you have to get 2 of them for great sound. This item also worked on Netflix.

Apple has done it again! Great sound, incredibly easy hook up and fun entertainment. Amazed by this product!

I have been an Amazon user for years and have an assortment of eight echos, dots, shows, flexes, spots and dots. Due to loving my ipad pro and macbook pro, i tried to make the switch to Apple Home. So far nothing but headaches, glitches, and errors. Siri can rarely, if ever, communicate with my Hue bridge. Loses lights DAILY. Apple music connection is a 50/50 shot but sort of irrelevant since the sound quality on this device (and i wasnt expecting MUCH) is so bad it literally hurts my ears and causes headaches at any audible level. The fact that Apple put their name on this low-end Alexa knock-off and put a $100 price tag on it (maybe worth $15 tops) gives me serious concerns about ever making a full transition to the ecosystem. EPIC FAIL.

Disappointing. Homepod siri never knows my location when asked a question or understands English. For example, Q: What's the temp? A: I don't know your location Q: What's the temp in Bradenton, FL? A: The temp is Tallahassee, FL is 62. I ditched HomePod mini for Amazon, Alexa echo and it works beautifully.

Great speaker. Easy to use and sounds better than bose

It worked well until it started death-popping and had no bass. I had to get it repaired by a 3rd party as it was just outside warranty. I expect more from an Apple product.

This speaker sounds good and out of the box, it connected flawlessly. Then it disconnected. Then again. Then again. I've had to unplug and run set up three times now. And I see from others trying to troubleshoot this online that my case is not isolated.

I love my iPhone, but I also love Spotify as my preferred streaming platform. So if you're like me, do yourself a favour and DO NOT BUY THE HOMEPOD MIN. First, to connect the Homepod is a strugglebus of immense proportions. You can't just enable the device via bluetooth (like 99.99% of speakers) and press play. I have to turn on the speaker (if it's not already), ensure the phone and speaker are on the same wifi network, open Spotify and then click on Current Device/AirPlay or Bluetooth and then select the Homepod -- and then takes upwards of 5-10 seconds to even connect and start playing! Then when listening to music, the music cuts out/briefly pauses REPEATEDLY which is soooooo annoying.

I bought 4 of these and they sound real good when they play... But all 4 of them have connection issues. I been through Apple tech support 90 time & Apple cant figure it out. I wont buy anymore ever again. Be aware

Unfortunately, a joke of an Apple product. I love the Apple Ecosystem, but this product is the only one I have had such a negative experience with. The Airplay function does not work, and it cannot play any music from Spotify, so if you don't have Apple Music you are SOL.... I wanted to like it because of Apple's privacy settings versus Amazon and Google, but I did not expect it to integrate so poorly with my iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 18.

Please do not buy this until later on in the year. This speaker can not do much as of right now and has 0 voice recognition and this isn't good because anybody can ask what your last text message was and it will read it out loud without a problem and they can mess with your phone basically. Don't get me wrong this speaker has flawless sound and has barely any distortion at max volume. But if you ask it to play a certain playlist on something like Spotify or Pandora. It will only allow you to use apple music and nothing else. Please take my word and wait until later on this year when they are updating this speaker to do more commands. if you want a good smart speaker get Google Home or Amazon Alexa. They both can do 10x more than what the apple homepod is able to do right now. and it's a lot less expensive than this (only because it's apple and they overprice everything.) If you are just in general looking for a good sounding speaker look at Bose Sony or UE. They all have good sound quality and if you hold a certain button they can summon Siri or Google.

This speaker sounds perfect. Works perfectly! Easy setup.

Returned it after two weeks… not worth the miney. Sounds nice but after 20 minutes it disconnects and good luck getting it to play again. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE
